Cleanin’ up, Fish stories we have heard in plenty but the absence of phenomenal mushroom finders is puzzling. Our first visit to Kale Island, Sunday proved enlightening. It is going to make a desirable place for summer homes. Some of the fellows we heard complaining the most bitterly of the cool spring were loud in their condemnation of the heat Monday. In mentioning the fact that Milford is dry, the Bremen Enquirer uses the phrase, “at least theoretically.” That word of the large proportions sort of tickles our fancy. It might be applied in quite a few districts. , You may have noticed that letter from the citizen, advocating a general house-cleaning of our streets and alleys. You may have also noticed near the close that he mentions that “it is up to you, Mr. Edi-

tor.” Very well, we accept the But we want help. We have lived through a number of cleaning-up days in our former home and like them. As I said before BUT we want help! This help to cousist of a number of wagons and teams to haul rubbish on the morning of a certain day to be decided later. We want all of the citizens to clean up yards and alleys and to store the refuse on piles that may be handily moved by the teams. In a few words, we want co-operation of everyone. Staid business men and respectable citizens must not hesitate to shed their coats and help along the cleaning process. Willing hands will make short work Os the common enemy, dirt. Now my dear citizens of Syracuse, “its up to you.” What say you, men! Roosevelt carried Ohio by a comfortable margin. Brother Dickey Explains. “I got no sarmont ter preach today,’* said Brother Dickey. “The last time I put my presence in dis yer yer pulpit I preached a sarmont what wuz so powerful hit sont six sisters off in a trance, an’ dey ain’t come to not yit, causin’ de law ter git after me. kaze dey ain’t conscious enough ter rise up an’ make a livin’ fer dey bus bands. Tongues er fire come down on me at dat time f’um de glory-lan’ an’ now some er you is oncharitable enough ter say dat de B fire orter scorched me ter a frazzle! Dis is no time fer a powerful preacher lak’ me’" —Atlanta Constitution. Goods and Goods. At the approach of the angel with the flaming sword Adam bent upon Eve a glance of profound consterna tion. "We are caught." he exclaimed, "with the goods on!” "Not dry goods, at all events!” giggled the first mother, nervously, as with a consciousness that it was too late for a bon mot, however clever, to save the situation. —Puck.

DROPffiggflMlij qpHIS is the “show-me” Planter. It appeals to the man who wants to be * shown, because its many desirable points will oear the closest examination. I Its good qualities are of a nature and number that speak for themselves. It is the boiled down essence of good corn planter construction. These statements might seem strong, 1 but after you have investigated the planter itself, and talked with V® your neighbor who has used one, you K will agree that what we have said is merely a statement of plain . mk S' $ / 1 fact. When we say this planter is accurate in drop, we mean real accuracy. When we say that it is light, strong and durable we mean it, because steel and malleable iron enter largely into its construction. There never was a planter put on the market that has met with the instant and lasting popularity of the Deere No. 9. There are more of these planters sold every year than any three other makes combined, and we sell more every year. Stop in and ask us for our new 86-page booklet, "More Corn—and Better."
